Calderon considers options

Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman and Arsene Wenger are among the contenders to become Real Madrid coach should Fabio Capello depart the Bernabeu, club president Ramon Calderon has revealed.

Capello led Madrid to their first title in four years but that has not stopped speculation he could leave the Spanish capital, despite having two years remaining on his contract.

Calderon said: "(Sporting director Predrag) Mijatovic has spoken to me about Laudrup, Koeman and Wenger, among others."

Mijatovic will be central to any decision, with the club likely to announce early next week whether there will be a change in the dugout.

"We are waiting on the report from the club's sporting department," Calderon continued. "They will make recommendations as to whether Capello should continue as coach. We will decide on Monday or Tuesday."

Asked if Capello had fulfilled his objectives, Calderon replied: "The objective we asked of him (La Liga title) is the one he delivered."
